Question:

Jim has 19,700 g of sand in his sandbox. He brings home another 6,300 g of sand from the beach to add to his. How many kilograms of sand does Jim have in his sandbox now?

The amount of kilogram of sand Jim now has in his sand box  is 26.00 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the method of addition or adding numbers.

Here, we note that the initial mass of sand in the sandbox = 19700 g

Added mass of sand to the sandbox = 6,300 g

Therefor the total mass of sand in the sand box is given by;

19,700 + 6,300 = 26,000 g

Therefore, the amount of kilogram of sand Jim now has in his sand box is 26,000 g which is equal to 26000/1000 = 26.00 kg.
